[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m local. Kids at private. Senior this year. I’m interested in all of the results. Not sure why everyone is so crabby about others posting. Lighten up!! [/quote]

The college process creates a lot of stress. Kids don't need to have it made worse by hearing that other kids got in schools and they did not. Plus, when results are made public it encourages some kids to fabricate favorable admission results. That makes other kids feel like they are the only ones who weren't accepted to schools. With mental health being such a concern, our senior child's school had an assembly at the beginning of the year and recommended that kids not share results. [/quote]

It is an awful process, but it’s totally unrealistic to expect kids not to share results. I’m not a fan of social media and hate that it presents one side of life with kids only posting good things they are trying to brag about — pics from vacations, parties, what not.  There are always kids who feel left out of things because of if.  College admissions is no different. Funny how the kids who always post pictures of lavish vacations to brag about it now want others not to post college admissions because they might now feel hurt. [/quote]
